1shn n. Ward TO President Young-The Popr
Play that New York has Been Doing-Ths
:" Great OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Ambition.
Tho strongest combination which has ever
; been placed on the ball field will leave this
city about Oct. as for trip to the Pacific coast.
Tho team will DO made up as follows: Bill
Brown. catcher: Tim Keefo, pitcher; Roger
Conner. first base; Danny Richardson, second
base; Jerry Denny. third base: John Ward.
short stop: Mike Tiernan, left field; Buck
. Ewing. centre field; Mike Kelly, right field.
Mod Hsnlan will accompany the team, but 1t is
mot certain as yet that he will play the full
number Of games that the club will play. Tho
foam, until 1t arrives at San Francisco, will bo
under the management Of Tim Keofe. In San
francisco It will report to Walter Appleton.
ono of tho directors Of tho New York Club.
with whom all contracts have boon made.
Tho FIRST games will be at Cincinnati. on Oct.
20 and 80. From there tho club will 20 to
Memphis to play on Nov I. On Nov. they
will play at Nashville, after which they will
move on to st. Louis. whore thoy will probably
play ON Nov. 9, 0. II. IS, and possibly 16th.
lit should be that they do not play the St.
Louis games. they will play at Now Orleans
from Nov. 8 to Nov. 10. Leaving New Orleans
they will start through Texas, playing at Hous-
,ton.SGalveston. San Antonio, Fort Yuma, Los
Angeles and several other towns, arriving In
Ban Francisco In time to play two games on
Thanksgiving Day. Tho team has contract
ito play all Its games on ono ground in that city,
and Il is very possible that 1t will not have an
opportunity to meet any Of tho other clubs
1rom this part Of tho country. which will spend
the winter out there.
, The New York team. as It will be known, will
lbe worked ON the cooperative plan. For
IBtrength there will be nothing now on tho ball
field that can equal It. Indeed. 1t is doubtful
lif 90 strong team could be got together from
the remaining ball players In the country.
Sohn Ward has been hard at work In arrang-
Ing tho games which tho club will play on its
lWay out. and he thinks that the venture can
Enot help but be o success
